So my $25 dollar cell phone conked out on me. :( One of the disadvantages of no contract cell service. When the phone dies it can get pretty pricey replacing it. Well the new one, another snazzy $500 pocket pc/ Cell phone ended up costing me $75. 3 times the cost of the old phone.

And they said the recessions over?

Oh, the fish are no more. The last 2 were donated to the neighbors tank. It was strange. For an entire year we maintained the ecology of he tank without swapping out water. The fish seemed happy. The cats seemed happy batting at the fish with their paws. The ferrets were happy ( With those litle brain cases thats all the emotion room they have ) pouncing on the cats while the cats batted at the fish. Yes its a circus at times around here. Anyways back to the fish. All was going great till the algae moved in. Algae is like bad neighbors. Once they move in, there goes the neighborhood. We have fought the algae for over a year dumping the water cleaning the tank, new rock and trinkets. But it would always come back. The only thing that wasn't changed were the fish.

I think they were the carriers!

Have not been out much since the camping trip. Temps are still in the triple digit range. I think about getting out early sometime and doing some target shooting. But for some reason I can't shoot a gun unless I'm a mile away from houses. What foolishness is that all about? Heck when we lived in Virginia we could sit on the porch and shoot all day long.

I want to know, if the whlesale price thing is down why is the retail price up? Whats up with that?

Still waiting for my bailout here...................
